New from Aprilla

Brockstar71 · Clubman B

Different, yes! Notice how nobody is actually looking at the thing.

RichT4 · Champion

Yuk!
it looks like an over sized Monkey bike..

a bit like when OCC made an off road custom bike.

Probably because they dont know the meaning of non jap engineering. I have not seen anything different from the big four for years but this company produces some nice stuff.

Well I like it cos its different and with a low C o G I bet it handles well too, not too sure about the exhaust pipes tho.

Well, I love it.
Very different and looks like it is comfy to ride.
Only thing I'm not too sure about is the swing arm? needs to be polished or something.

Exhaust is good Dan, it's different.
Doug is right, Aprillia have a go at breaking away from the norm.

The reason no one is looking at it, is because they are all sheep, staring at the RSV4 in the background.

Thats gorgeous, that is!

I dont mind the exhaust its the asbestos bandage I'm not sure about!! Indicators and mirrors will spoil it tho.

Feathers · Clubman A

I like it too...Where is the back brake though??? confuse

xtriple · Champion

Bet the exhaust keeps your right leg warm in the winter......

What about the left one though?

Note the fluid reservoir on BOTH sides of the handles bars, must be electronic gear shift. smile

Remember the Blue Marlin in 2002Yet another gorgeous Aprilla prototype that was going to make production until they worked out the airbox was far to small and shelved it. yawn

SOS by the look of it

jt · Powermonger!!

I like it cept it needs a 'tank' - don't like the seat going all the way up......

And as for the zorst tape Dan - I like it and have my HD pipes wrapped in it - 3 sets of trousers inc a rather hair raising spontainious combstion event involving my manhood and a pair of wax cotton leggings made me fit it

pleased to say I have not managed to ignite myself since fitting it.....

If you like that sort of thing hows about a confederate ?
